Despite favorable policies for the development of Internet, the digital divide is widening in
Africa. Already, the absolute necessity of denying that the gap between those of our citizens
who master these new tools the rest of the population increase. The laws relating to the fight
against the digital divide is adopted. It aims to ensure that the entire population has access to
high speed at a reasonable price through the creation of digital development Fund territories
and territorial directors schema definition unique digital development in the same area
established at the initiative of local authorities.territoriales.
5. What are the roles and responsibilities of the different stakeholders, including
governments, in implementation of the various aspects of enhanced cooperation?
The digital divide has been created with the advent of broadband Internet is poised to worsen
significantly with the development of very high speed, which will become tomorrow the
standard for the urban population. Communities mobilize for several years to overcome the
shortcomings of the state and private initiative in their territories by investing in top networks
and high throughput. They are however inadequately supported by public authorities at the
highest level, does not seem to have taken stock of the issues and needs, both regulatory
and financial perspective. The Digital Plan promise universal access to high-speed 512 kbit /
s. Although very ambitious about the level of target flow, it will not be achieved. And the
national high-speed (PNTHD) plane, showing the goals it does not give itself the means to
hold, seems unrealistic.
6. How should enhanced cooperation be implemented to enable governments, on an
equal footing, to carry out their roles and responsibilities in international public policy
issues pertaining to the Internet?
At a time when digital tools are spreading everywhere in our daily life, carriers of both social
cohesion, personal development and collective economic performance, governments have a
responsibility to help reduce the digital divide. The digital divide may be generational, social or
cultural, but the supposed digital divide between rural and urban has largely faded as it
continues to attract the attention of the authorities. Stressing the need Despite this favorable

the fight against piracy of works and rights against cybercrime. With the increase of Internet
traffic and
development of its uses, it is also the issue of net neutrality, that is to say, ensuring the
delivery of information without discrimination, which is now placed.
8. What are the most appropriate mechanisms to fully implement enhanced
cooperation as recognized in the Tunis Agenda, including on international public
policy issues pertaining to the Internet and public policy issues associated with
coordination and management of critical Internet resources?
With the development of Internet and the emergence of the Web in the 1990s, government
intervention to support the "Information Society" and the "Information Highway." During the
2000s, technological advances made by ADSL and fiber optic open a new era in the spread
of the Internet. A digital economy develops, uses multiply in everyday life and access to the
Internet should now be guaranteed to everyone where program development digital land.
9. What is the possible relationship between enhanced cooperation and the IGF?
This progress is not to avoid all the emergence of a "digital divide" within the French
population, as highlighted several reports. Along with a proactive policy to promote the
Internet, governments implement policies to control the one hand, to protect copyrights, and
secondly, to guarantee individual freedoms and respect for private data.
10. How can the role of developing countries be made more effective in global Internet
governance?
Disruptive technologies that will change our lives and our economies raises fears that
widespread automation is increasing unemployment and widening the gap between the
skilled and those who have not received sufficient training to fully experience this change.
11. What barriers remain for all stakeholders to fully participate in their respective roles
in global Internet governance? How can these barriers best be overcome?
The new models have emerged from the digital transformation is no exception: like the
business model, they are the product of social construction. Then, the digital will he bring out
a unique world organization of individual cooperation or, conversely, new patterns of
domination in an equally spectacular scale.
12. What actions are needed to promote effective participation of all marginalised
people in the global information society?
The digital undermines the historical foundations of "the company". Outside thereof, operating
point? The company, however, did not always exist as such either in its current form, it is a
social construction ... including digital destabilizes foundations. For now, the "new
technologies" are no longer just tools in his service, they also provide new means of
production, value measurement and compensation. Is the point of disconnect radically work of
the entity "business"? This issue was at the heart of discussions on the future of work. With
digital, everything gradually and almost automates: supermarket cashiers disappear, workers
are scarce, cars without drivers and articles written by robots become a reality ... This rapid
technological progress leads us to rethink in depth the concepts of "Day Job" and "salary" ...
13. How can enhanced cooperation address key issues toward global, social and
economic development?
These new forms of contributions they intended to be paid? If so, how? A salary? A symbolic
retribution? Anything else? ... Many digital players propose new models for measuring the
value and compensation is clearly more a maximization of happiness and social justice, that
growth for growth.
14. What is the role of various stakeholders in promoting the development of local
language content?
Policy: Culture, books, internet. The first digital resources acquired national license are now
available to public libraries. Under the draft Digital Science Library and Investment for the
future, the Ministry of Higher Education and Research started in 2010 to develop national
license in a number of digital resources (Early English Books Online, corpus Classiques
Garnier digital dictionaries, corpus of journals and e-books published by Springer, etc.).
15. What are the international internet-related public policy issues that are of special
relevance to developing countries?
The argument put forward here is that the industry tends to stabilize cafes in a business
ecosystem across the country under the leadership of the central government. The latter
takes the role of leader of a business ecosystem combining different elements: a political
speech "organizing" a regulatory framework and financial sponsorship market. This
ecosystem covers different realities, helps to stimulate the market by introducing new
competitive games. National public regulatory policies attempt to balance conflicting logics
(ICT diffusion, economic growth, development of a national industry policy access control ...)
and above must deal firstly with local public policies seeking to protect the interests of local
operators, and secondly with the expectations of users. Thus the will of the central
government to regulate the market on one side cafes can homogenize the public Internet, but
on the contrary, the various interacting forces can determine a number of paths related to
local particularities.
16. What are the key issues to be addressed to promote the affordability of the Internet,
in particular in developing countries and least developed countries?
This work focuses on the public Internet access provided by private operators (telcos,
independent cafes, national or local chains ...) to contribute to a better understanding of the
process of integration in urban geography. Public access to ICT, private or voluntary, is the
main form of access in countries where the cost of materials and connection are high relative
to the standard of living of the population. This sharing can be analyzed as a particular form
ICT appropriation. Indeed, China is experiencing growth and penetration of the Internet and a
high rate of domestic equipment in significant computers (20% overall but 50% in town). Yet
the rate of users of Internet cafes is growing even faster, and almost all internet cafes in the
private sector,
17. What are the national capacities to be developed and modalities to be considered
for national governments to develop Internet-related public policy with participation of
all stakeholders?
The areas of public regulation concerning network architecture, operators, content control and
the same terms of public access, that is to say the public places, offering free Internet access
or paying. These public policies are analyzed as a social construct, a product of acting,
compromises and alliances between many stakeholders in a business ecosystem. Their
contradictions undermine the effectiveness of all these policies are to be applied by local
officials with divergent interests. This paper introduces a series of empirical studies on several
Chinese cities that illuminate sets of players leaving the emergence of new urban forms and
emphasize the important role of the trajectories of uses and users in the co-construction of
this ecosystem.
18. Are there other comments, or areas of concern, on enhanced cooperation you
would like to submit?
This participation is considered a public policy of digital led for a dozen years to facilitate
social appropriation of digital tools with the aim not to leave anyone out and promote
innovation use.
